Simply put, I think the most expensive speakers are too much overpriced.
I understand all the money that goes into RD and all the expensive materials and expensive manpower, but I also strongly believe that there is a limit for the production of any speaker that is much much lower than its price when it hits the market.
What's the rational explanation for a speaker to cost more than $300,000?
I recently had the opportunity to listen to one of the most expensive speakers in the world, the Marten Coltrane Supreme 2. I surely was impressed by the sound, but in the same day I listened to far cheaper speakers that impressed me as much or even more - like Canton, Tannoy, Aurum Cantus and some others. Comparing the price tags, listening to the Martens should have been an orgasmic experience! And it wasn't.
These Marten are costing the same as a Lamborghini or a Ferrari! Why?
Too much overpriced I say...
